You already started it, and it has become a very useful website. I am somewhat familiar with your knowledge in sql and elisp and perl. I think it would take just a day, if you wanted to, to switch it to MediaWiki. That is to say, i don't think tech know-how is in the way. I do think switching to MediaWiki is a major benefit, and thank you for starting emacswiki in the first place. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
